Introverts, rejoice: @windaddict.bsky.social shows how to skip the small talk and build connections that *actually do stuff*. #MicroConf

Great business communicators should be judged by results, not feelings. Only a closed feedback loop can ensure that both sides convey the correct information. Repeat what you hear; ask what they heard.

Look at how many folks have suddenly become experts in market futures. If these folks could predict the market, they would have done it before last week. Today is not the day to take up a new hobby day trading, hedging currency risk, or dabbling in options. #investing

Paying dividends is like distilling water. The water condensing on the apparatus's cool side isn’t manifesting from the ether – it transfers from the boiling vessel. Investors focused on dividend returns for income are confused. Selling stock and receiving dividends reduce portfolio value.

Thrilled to announce that I'll be speaking at @microconf.com Europe in Istanbul in September! See you there?!

An under-appreciated benefit of attending a mega-social conference like @microconf.com is that I don’t read the news. I don’t miss it either; spending time with friends cures doom-scrolling. #microconf

Free for life is like crack cocaine. It works, but… How do you get people off of it? Put it in a box. Don’t add new features to the free plan; entice the users to pay for an upgrade. – Marcos Rivera of PRICINGIO @microconf.com #microconf

Yeah, @adrianthedev.com is right. Pick boring tech stacks. Guess what? You can hire great developers who know Rails or Django. And that tech will be reliable. #microconf

Now @adrianthedev.com gives advice to non-technical founders. #microConf

Years ago, I attended a recruiting party hosted by Google in San Francisco. The venue was filled with guests except in one corner, where the Googlers stood in a circle chatting with each other. I’m attending @microconf.com this weekend, where I will talk to strangers. This is the whole point!😆

Who will I see at @microconf.com in New Orleans?
